Hi, When I type in some letters in the firefox browser, some of my previous websites that I have look at, show themselves. Could you tell me how I can make it so that won't happen? Thanks, CLiff

The address box on the Navigation Toolbar (AKA as the location bar and the Awesome Bar) can show history, or bookmarks, or both, or neither, as you type.

To select your preferred behavior, go to

Firefox > Preferences > Privacy

If you don't want any suggestions, in the lower section, choose "Nothing" for "When using the location bar suggest".

Does that do what you want?
